Is there a website that will help me pick out plants for my landscape?

I'm far from a plant expert, but I'd like to change out the plants in my front garden bed. Is there a website where I can view which plants will prosper in my area and perhaps see options of which plants look good together?

You are asking for a lot from just one sight. There are several design sites but to do what you ask works best over several sites %26amp; books.


Books on matching plants to the growing conditions:


'Right Plant Right Place' by Ferguson is a standard reference book. She also wrote 'Right Plant, Right Place: Over 1400 Plants for Every Situation in the Garden'


'Perennial Combinations' Di Sabato-Aust


'Companions to Clematis' Badcock


Timber press for garden books they publish

Talk to people or just look up information about the plants to see how they work for other gardeners in a garden-wiki. They have plant files and review mail order nurseries.
